§ Sir J. Langford-Holtasked the Minister of Agriculture, Fisheries and Food why, following an estimated increase in the consumption of feedingstuffs in 1964 for 1,000,000 tons, the standard quantity for cereals was not increased by more than 350,000 tons.
§ Mr. HoyThe increase in the standard quantities was related to a forecast made at the time of the 1965 Annual Review of the total requirement for cereals in the United Kingdom in 1965/66, and represented a fair and reasonable share of the growth of consumption as forecast at that time. The increase in consumption is now expected to be larger than originally forecast.
